You want to prepare your case by creating a time line starting from the earliest event. For each event, write down key details and witnesses and if there is a document that relates to it, save it and refer to it. This timeline can be very valuable in narrating your case and presenting it later in a concrete and specific way.Would commence with a lawyer letter. martindale.com and findlaw.com are both excellent lookup directories. Both highly rated. Both used by lawyers. Easy to search and find local options.By being prepared and pressing your claim, the other side should feel the pressure and consider the risk of losing and legal fees. That realization can help bring about a settlement!

Ask Your Own Employment Law Question

I am not curious how to find a lawyer. I don't need help with that. I am asking if I have any legal protection of personal text or other information on a company cell phone? They gave me a deadline to provide it of yesterday. I asked if they can assure me they will not go into my personal things on the phone and no response.

Company is entitled to work related information only, not personal matters unrelated to work.Awaiting your reply, thank you. if you have a follow up, just ask me!

They will not allow me to remove anything from the phone. What law allows that? They will not return my personal items until I give them the pass-code. They refused to let me type in the code and remove items of wipe the phone.

Customer reply replied 6 months ago

I have to leave for an appointment. So far I still don't know what to do with their deadline. I am already in the process of screening lawyers here in Denver. None are prepared to know the intricacies of cell phones and this situation thus far.

Again, private information is not work related and as such not within their right to access. The lawyer you hire should immediately raise this point as there is no work related reason for giving them such access. Awaiting your reply, thank you. if you have a follow up, just ask me!

I will tell you that...the things you have to go through to be an Expert are quite rigorous.
